CT scans offer one way to learn more about the location, size, and shape of a brain aneurysm. A brain aneurysm is a weak or very thin spot on an artery in the brain that bulges out and fills with ...

PET-CT scans combine structural and functional imaging to detect diseases early. This technology improves diagnosis accuracy ...

It’s a groundbreaking step forward, but these scans are also showing that the disease develops differently in Black patients.

A spot on the lungs can be caused by a pulmonary nodule. These are small, round growths on the lungs smaller than 3 centimeters in diameter.

All 135 patients with mild traumatic brain injuries received CT scans when they were first admitted, and all were given MRIs about a week later. Most of them (99) had no detectable signs of injury on ...

Researchers say they can see telltale brain shrinkage years before a person develops memory loss or other symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Whereas CT scans and MRIs record brain signals every few seconds, MEGs can do it by the millisecond, catching biomarkers and brain activity that the other tests inevitably miss.

There has been an escalating risk of brain cancer associated with increasing radiation dose to the brain from CT examinations, a cohort study of more than 650,000 children and young adults ...

Hospital MRIs may be better at predicting long-term outcomes for people with mild traumatic brain injuries than CT scans, the standard technique for evaluating such injuries in the emergency room ...
